Hey guys, I finally decided to make one of these thingies so you guys can check it out.
I have 2 Drum kits:

1. Custom 8 Piece DDrum Kit w/(What I like to call) Mimic signature Snare and ZILDJIAN cymbals with a Greg "Something" Drum Rack which was made famous by my drumming influence, Nick Menza, and I use VIC FIRTH Drumsticks.

2. Coda 5 Piece Kit - It sounds okay but not as good as my DDrums. ;)

I mostly play heavy metal but I also play a lot of jazz and old school rock.

So yeah...

All EDITS UNDERLINED

What encourages you to call your snare your signature snare? Did you custom order it? Also, kudos to playing metal! \m/ (O.o) \m/

Yeah the snare is custom... Then I tweaked it a little. It sounds really thick and it has a short ring to it...

And... Yes... The floor tom was broken when I took the pic so...

Them's some pretty crazy tom angles. A little more and they'd be vertical. :blink:

I've seen people play their toms like that, Vertically... I angled my toms like that because it was the most comfortable for me... But now... i switched it up and my toms are straight up and down!!!jk My toms are a lot lower now that I "Changed" so to speak...

I found out you could clip the bass drum pedal to the bass drum ring... It doesn't move around the carpet anymore!!!

My snare broke about a week ago and I had to fix it up ghetto style... I looked in the Duct Tape manual for Drummies and I fixed it... It's sounds the way I wanted it to sound.

Wow...Have you considered watching the lessons on this site?
Just so you know, being a heavy hitter ends up in injury. (I broke a 2B stick in my first week of drumming)

Yeah I always watch the lessons they're FALKen awesome -_-'... Yeah I started with the intentions of being a heavy metal drumming doing blast beats and what not and I really didn't know what to do so... I started banging the drums and there goes a pair of sticks... and thena again another pair of sticks... and then I was like "Okay I am gonna learn this time!" and then what do you know I know how to play but my kit is messed up :)
The kit was just a $100 dollar kit anyways... but my ddrums OHHHHHHHH I bought those after my crap coda kit and these were EXPENSIVE AS FALK...
